You should build a PC, I just built my first one a few months ago. There is a weird pride that comes from building your own PC and gaming on a PC is fantastic. Check out PCPartPicker.com to help you select parts, it makes sure that they are all compatible for you and shows you where they are cheapest. Message me if you want any help building it.

My brother swears by PCPartPicker, I'll be there soon once I get the money.

It is a great website, I'm not sure that I ever would have build my PC without it.

Not the same user you replied to but I want to build a new PC pretty cheap that will be able to run both the new Fallout game and Dark Souls 3. If I wanted to replace my current rig with everything new (except keyboard/mouse/monitor/speakers) could I do it with a $300-400 budget? It doesn't need to run max settings but I want to give my current rig to someone else so I will need to replace most items.

sure you could do it, after a quick look on PC Part Picker, here is a build https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/kYNnTW/the-ultimate-console-killer by all means look at other build created by users on the website, or take some time and do some research to make your own build.

Awesome. All I need is a Windows OS cheap. Guess I should start saving money now.

I'm not advocating this or saying that I have ever done this, but it's not difficult to get a windows OS torrent download and install it without any problems whatsoever. One has to be wary of viruses and whatnot of course. You're probably aware of this, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Yeah, not the best solution but definitely better than none. Since Windows 10 is coming out I bet I can nab a Windows 7 key dirt cheap until I need to upgrade.

You can upgrade to Windows 10 from a pirated windows 7
